| Everything Looks Like Shot on Video Go into your tv's menu and set the judder control to zero. No more soap opera effect. | |
| Any polk fans? LSi and RTi series. After that, forget it. My opinion. | |
| what cables/interconnects should I try? You don't have to spend a fortune for good interconnects. I've had great results with SignalCable Silver Resolution, Audioquest Silver Extreme (sold by HMC Audio), Audioquest Black Mamba II (sold by Audioadvisor). There are others, for sure. For s... | |

| What HDMI Cable ? I like the Radio Shack "Pipeline" hdmi cable. Designed by Audioquest and made in China; it's solid silver-plated copper (silver percentage unknown). $50 for 4ft. | |
| any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen? The LSi9 needs to be played at a healthy volume to sound its best. | |
| any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen? I recently picked up a pair of used LSi9's for the hell of it. They were sitting in the original owners closet for a few years and they needed about a two weeks of frequent play to open up.I was pretty impressed but felt it could do more. After mu... |
